How to Sow

  • Fill pots or cell trays with compost and pat down to firm the soil
  • Make a small well in the soil with your finger approx 1cm deep
  • Place a couple of seed well spaced per cell or small pot
  • Cover with compost, lightly pat down and water
  • Sage can take up to 3 weeks to germinate, so be patient!

Plant Care

  • After 5-6 weeks, the seedlings can be separated and translated into larger pots to mature before going outside
  • After another 2 weeks, the individual sage plants can be transplanted direct to a soil bed outside in its final position

AllotMe’s Tips

  • Sage is an extremely hardy herb and can survive fairly harsh conditions, but watch out for powdery mildew. To avoid this, keep the soil moist and away from extreme heat conditions
  • Regularly check the leaves for pests, and remove by hand if spotted
